Leap, Slice, Climb

One finger does everything: tap to leap to the opposite wall, swipe to dash up or throw a kunai, and cut everything on your way.

LEAP AND SLICE

  • Tap: leap to the opposite wall. Your arc slices any enemy in its way and leaves a crescent cut trail.
  • Press and hold: stop or slide on the wall, but the danger is rising from below!

DASH AND KUNAI

  • Swipe up: dash up the same wall and cut whatever is in your path.
  • Swipe sideways: throw a kunai that way; every cut with your blade gives one back.

RISING DANGER

  • Flames, icy water, poison fog, a storm flood and a black shadow chase you up the tower. Touch it and the run is over.
  • You have 3 hearts. Damage only comes from telegraphed attacks, projectiles and wall traps, and every danger glows red before it strikes.

ENEMIES AND BOSSES

  • Sentry Ninja, Archer, Shield Bearer, Crow, Bomber, Chain Sickle, Shadow Clone and Ninja Master, plus tougher elites with a golden aura.
  • A boss floor at the end of every region: Chained Giant Guardian, Dragon Kite, Spider Woman, Thunder Monk and Shadow Shogun.

Why Ninja Ascent?

A fast, stylish night-time ninja game: wall-to-wall leaps, crescent cut trails, air combos and tense boss duels.

5 REGIONS

  • Bamboo Tower, Snow Tower, Crimson Pagoda, Storm Summit and Shadow Void, each with its own night palette, weather and rising danger.
  • After the fifth region the tower starts again, tougher than before.

RANKS AND DOJO

  • Climb from Rank 1 to 50 and unlock 9 outfits, 8 scarves, 8 blade trails and 3 kunai types in the Dojo.
  • Choose your starting region or switch on the hard modes: One Heart, No Kunai and Fast Flood.

COMBOS AND GAME FEEL

  • Chain air combos and close calls, and take your combo from SHARP all the way to LEGENDARY NINJA.
  • Hit-stop, slow motion and screen shake (which you can turn off) make every cut land hard.

DAILY RUN

  • Everyone gets the same seed and the same region each day, with a separate best score.
